it used to be such a thrill to me to see wild birds up close. i had a hummingbird feeder on my clothline and the birds would feed and buzz around while i was hanging clothes.
Curious, as never seen this behaviour before & I still cannot understand why these individuals didn't use the hedges in the fields for better shelter, rather than a slight verge & bank of snow? P/haps they know foxes prowl the hedges during winter nights? Cruelly cold tho last winter..lovely bird BTW
Perhaps hand reared by a Gamekeeper? Here in Norfolk I several times saw RLPartridges at different places & dates (but always about 1 or 2 AM) tucked very close in to the verges (& awake) on the tarmac of the country lanes during the snow & cold rains last winter. Huddling in to the lee of the snow/wind but in terrific danger of being run over by the (all-be-it) infrequent traffic?
beautiful! thanks for sharing!
